Subject: x86[-64]:Remove 'volatile' from atomic_t
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f9e9dcb38f5106fa8cdac04a9e967d5487f1cd20;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

x86[-64]:Remove 'volatile' from atomic_t

Any code that relies on the volatile would be a bug waiting to happen
anyway.

Don't encourage people to think that putting 'volatile' on data
structures somehow fixes problems.  We should always use proper locking
(and other serialization) techniques.
